2 January 18, de enero, 2015 Dear Parishioners, Last Sunday (The Baptism of the Lord), we celebrated the last day of the Christmas season. Now we begin the Ordinary Time in our Liturgical Calendar. I would like to share with you this beautiful article that explains Ordinary Time (taken from Saint Andrew Bible Missal). The Creator of heaven and earth is described by the scriptures as the original and the best of players. Creative activity is playful, and creative people do not feel that what they do is a job. Creative people have a sense that their creativity and all that they fashion in creative spirit are gifts they have received. The Christian can speak of this and the contemplative vision which sees all reality as a gift or grace. Our thankful response we call worship or Eucharist. We cannot speak of Ordinary Time without speaking of Sunday. The every seven- day celebration of the Lord s Day is the basic structure upon which the Church year is built. The great liturgical seasons of Advent- Christmas and Lent- Easter are more expansive celebrations of particular aspects of the one paschal mystery which we celebrate every Lord s Day... Ordinary Time is not very ordinary at all. Ordinary Time, the celebration of Sunday, is the identifying mark of the Christian community which comes together, remembering that on the first day of the week the Lord of Life was raised up and creation came at last to completion. Sunday as a day of play and worship is a sacrament of redeemed time. How we live Sunday proclaims to the world what we believe about redeemed time now and for ever. What happens in our churches every Sunday is the fruit of our week. Sunday, like all sacraments, is simultaneously a point of arrival and departure for Christians on their way to the fullness of the Kingdom. This is not ordinary at all. This is the fabric of Christian living. Beginning this Sunday, we celebrate The week of Prayer for Christian Unity. (January 18-25). We pray that the Holy Spirit will bring unity, healing and renewal of all Christians in the world. On January 19, we commemorate the birth of Martin Luther King, Jr. We pray for the end of racial discrimination and for peace and justice to reign in our world. Peace! Fr. Jacque Beltran Queridos feligreses, El domingo pasado (El Bautismo del Señor), celebramos el último día de la temporada de Navidad. Ahora comenzamos el Tiempo Ordinario en nuestro Calendario Litúrgico. Me gustaría compartir con ustedes este hermoso artículo que explica el Tiempo Ordinario (tomado de la Biblia Misal de San Andrés). "El Creador del cielo y de la tierra es descrito por las Escrituras como el original y mejor de los jugadores. La actividad creativa es alegre, y la gente creativa no considera que lo que hacen es un trabajo. Las personas creativas tienen la impresión de que su creatividad y todo lo que hacen en espíritu creativo son dones que han recibido. El Cristiano puede hablar de esto y la visión contemplativa que ve toda la realidad como un don o gracia. Nuestra respuesta agradecida que llamamos adoración o Eucaristía. No podemos hablar de Tiempo Ordinario sin hablar del domingo. La celebración del Señor cada siete días es la estructura básica sobre la cual se construye el año de la Iglesia. Los grandes tiempos litúrgicos de Adviento- Navidad y Cuaresma-Pascua son celebraciones más amplias de aspectos particulares del misterio pascual que celebramos cada día del Señor...el Tiempo Ordinario no es muy ordinario. Tiempo Ordinario, la celebración del domingo, es la señal de identidad de la comunidad Cristiana que se reúne, recordando que en el primer día de la semana, el Señor de la Vida fue resucitado y la creación llegó por fin a su término. El domingo, como un día de juego y de adoración es un sacramento de tiempo redimido. Como vivimos el Domingo proclama al mundo lo que creemos sobre el tiempo redimido ahora y por siempre. Lo que sucede en nuestras iglesias todos los domingos es el fruto de nuestra semana. El Domingo, como todos los sacramentos, es a la vez un punto de llegada y salida para los Cristianos en su camino hacia la plenitud del Reino. Esto no es ordinario en lo absoluto. Esta es la estructura de la vida Cristiana. A partir de este domingo, celebramos "La semana de Oración por la Unidad de los Cristianos." (Enero 18-25). Oramos para que el Espíritu Santo traiga la unidad, la sanación y la renovación de todos los Cristianos en el mundo. El 19 de enero, conmemoramos el nacimiento de Martin Luther King, Jr. Oramos por el fin de la discriminación racial y por la paz y la justicia para que reinen en nuestro mundo. Paz! Padre Jacque Beltran January 18, 2015 Most Blessed Trinity 2

3 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time "What are you looking for?" When Jesus asked the two disciples this question, they didn't give an answer. Instead, they asked another question: "Where are you staying?" Obviously these men were interested in learning more about Jesus. They wanted to accompany him and be in his presence. They decided to spend the whole day with him. But they were not quite ready to reveal what they were really looking for. Remember that at the time, these men were disciples of John the Baptist. They had heard John announce the coming of the Christ, but they didn't know yet who he was. John's followers were certainly looking for something: the Messiah. Most likely, these men were interested in seeing for themselves whether or not this Jesus was the one they had been waiting for. Apparently, he was. Andrew was convinced by that daylong encounter with Jesus. In the verse that follows today's Gospel, we learn that "He first found his own brother Simon and told him, 'We have found the Messiah'" (Jn 1:41). What a joy this must have been for Andrew! He found what he was looking for. Indeed, the joy was so great that he couldn't wait to share the good news. When we, like Andrew, take time to "spend the day" with Jesus, getting to know who he really is through our daily prayer, then the happiness we experience will naturally overflow to others. The process may begin with questions about who Jesus is; that's only natural. But once we find what we are looking for, we can do what Andrew did by sharing the joy of the discovery with our own brothers, sisters, neighbors, and friends right here at home. 2º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario El domingo pasado celebramos el bautismo del Señor. En el Evangelio de hoy Juan indica a sus discípulos quien era Jesús: "Este es el Cordero de Dios". Bastó eso para que los discípulos lo siguieran y pasaran el día con Jesús. Llamada o vocación, como desees llamarle, pero lo cierto es que Dios nos llama a todos y en todos los tiempos. Así lo experimentó Samuel mil años antes de Cristo, así como los primeros discípulos después del bautismo de Jesús. Si leemos la Biblia con atención, nos daremos cuenta de que Dios ha llamado a personas de todas las edades y condiciones. Es decir, llama a pobres y ricos por igual. El dilema es la respuesta. Unas personas responden rápidamente y otras necesitan más tiempo. Tú cómo respondes? La vocación tiene cuatro puntos clave. El primero es el llamado. El segundo es el encuentro. "[Jesús] se volvió hacia ellos, y viendo que lo seguían, les preguntó: ' Qué buscan?'" La vocación tiene una estructura de relación personal entre Dios y cada uno. Así ha sido en todos los tiempos. Jesús facilita el encuentro. " Dónde vives, Rabí?" "Vengan a ver". El tercer momento es el seguimiento. Es decir, debe haber un proceso vocacional --o seguimiento libre-- donde exista una responsabilidad de relación permanente con él. El cuarto punto es la misión. Dios nos llama, y si existe una respuesta inmediatamente, confía la misión. "Deja tu país, a tu parentela y la casa de tu padre" (Gn 12, 1). Jesús nos llama hoy a ser sus discípulos. Cómo respondemos? Puede existir el llamado a ser esposos fieles, consagrarse al sacerdocio o vida religiosa, o vivir como laicos comprometidos. Por último, cómo respondemos al llamado de la fe? Santísima Trinidad 18 de enero,
